    • The Black hole mass of NGC 4151: comparison of reverberation mapping and stellar dynamical measurements 

      Onken, Christopher; Valluri, Monica; Peterson, Bradley; Pogge, Richard; Bentz, Misty; Ferrarese, Laura; Vestergaard, Marianne; Crenshaw, Michael; Sergeev, Sergey; McHardy, Ian; Merritt, David; Bower, Gary; Heckman, Timothy; Wandel, Amri (American Astronomical Society - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007-11-20)
      We present a stellar dynamical estimate of the black hole (BH) mass in the Seyfert 1 galaxy, NGC 4151. We analyze ground-based spectroscopy as well as imaging data from the ground and space, and we construct 3-integral ...

    • The host galaxies of luminous quasars 

      Floyd, David; Kukula, Marek; Dunlop, James; McLure, Ross; Miller, Lance; Percival, Will; Baum, Stefi; O'Dea, Christopher (Blackwell Publishing, 2004-11)
      We present the results of a deep HST/WFPC2 imaging study of 17 quasars at z~=0.4, designed to determine the properties of their host galaxies. The sample consists of quasars with absolute magnitudes in the range −24 ≥ MV ...

    • Post-Newtonian simulations of super-massive black hole binaries in galactic nuclei 

      Berentzen, Ingo; Preto, Miguel; Merritt, David; Spurzem, Rainer (Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin: Astronomische Nachrichten, 2008-12)
      We present some preliminary results from recent numerical simulations that model the evolution of super-massive black hole (SMBH) binaries in galactic nuclei. Including the post-Newtonian terms for the binary system and ...

    • Quasars, their host galaxies, and their central black holes 

      Dunlop, James; McLure, Ross; Kukula, Marek; Baum, Stefi; O'Dea, Christopher; Hughes, David (Blackwell Publishing, 2003-04-09)
      We present the final results from our deep HST imaging study of the host galaxies of radio-quiet quasars (RQQs), radio-loud quasars (RLQs) and radio galaxies (RGs). We describe and analyze new WFPC2 R-band observations for ...

    • Supermassive black hole mass measurements for NGC 1300 and NGC 2748 based on HST [Hubble Space Telescope] emission-line gas kinematics 

      Atkinson, John; Collett, J.; Marconi, Alessandro; Axon, David; Alonso-Herrero, Almudena; Batcheldor, Dan; Binney, James; Capetti, Alessandro; Carollo, C. Marcella; Dressel, Linda; Ford, Holland; Gerssen, Joris; Hughes, M.; Macchetto, Duccio; Maciejewski, Witold; Merrifield, Michael; Scarlata, Claudia; Sparks, William; Stiavelli, Massimo; Tsvetanov, Zlatan; van der Marel, Roeland (Blackwell Publishing: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005-05)
      We present Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph emission-line spectra of the central regions of the spiral galaxies NGC 1300 and NGC 2748. From the derived kinematics of the nuclear gas we have found evidence for central ...
